We are taking on the "con":
The lie that fathers don't matter. They do!
Fathers Making
A World of Difference,
Right at Home
WHAT IS FATHER-CON?
FATHER-CON IS ABOUT
CONNECTION
Regardless of belief, brand or blessing - we are all battling the same stumbling blocks and striving for success.
FATHER-CON
CONFRONTS
THE CON
We confront the lies we each face as fathers about our significance and the impact of our presence or absence in our children and communities.
FATHER-CON IS A PLACE OF
CONVERSATION
CONFERENCE
AND
A
We host an event to celebrate the role we are called and equipped to play in ending such threats to our children as human trafficking, cyber exploitation and pornography; a conference to collectively proclaim we will be the fathers we want to be, and our children need us to be.
Upcoming Events
"I love Father-Con! In a world that says men aren't needed, Father-Con dispels that myth and encourages fathers to step up in the lives of their children, and community."
